Abstract

Abstract:

Black phosphorene is a new type of two-dimensional material with high carrier mobility, tunable direct band gap, unique anisotropic physical and chemical properties, leading to wide application prospects in energy storage, photoelectric, medicine, sensing and other fields. However, black phosphorene is easy to be degraded at the presence of moisture and oxygen, which limits its practical applications. Therefore, how to solve the problem of phosphorene stability has become the focus of current research. In order to let researchers who just entered the field have a comprehensive understanding of this problem, the unstable mechanisms of black phosphorene were first reviewed and then several typical strategies in recent years to stabilize black phosphorene were summarized, the progress of our research group in solving the stability of black phosphorene were also introduced. Finally, on the basis of the current progress, future research directions to improve the stability of black phosphene were suggested.

Key words: black phosphorene, two-dimensional materials, nanomaterials, stability, oxidation, degradation
